Julia lets turn to washington as we await comments from President Trump expected to be on tax reform. The latest draft from a publicans and the senate would make many individual tax breaks temporary. We could see repeal of key parts of obamacare. Joining us from capitol hill is kevin cirilli. Great to have you here. Was tax reform not exciting enough . Why not throw in obamacare to keep it really interesting . Kevin it just got interesting, right . Republicans say this will help middle income americans by removing a tax that they dont want to pay. Democrats disagree with that notion, arguing these are the folks who need health care. Saying shean collins is now undecided about whether or not she will support a tax package that includes a repeal of the individual mandate from the Affordable Care act. Ofaught up with pat toomey pennsylvania about whether he thinks including the individual mandate repeal will hinder tax reforms chances. I think there is broad support among republicans in the house and the senate to do away with his terrible regressive tax penalty on people who get hit with it because they cannot afford to buy these terrible policies. 83 of theania come people who get hit with the tax have income less than 50,000. Anyone who wants to help middle class families, we are likely to support it even more. I think it increases the chance that we get this done. Im very optimistic. Kevin the house is scheduled to vote on this tomorrow. Setting it up for a vote in the Senate Next Week or shortly thereafter. Julia what are they trying to murkowskis of lisa was concerned about obamacare. Kevin republicans are trying to combine the elusive policy win for their base with tax reform. Ive spoken with a lot of democrats who say framing this as republicans losing the majority in 2018 might not be the way to look at it. , they this get pass might be able to write those gains going into the midterm. In termsd of the day, of the administration saying they are on pace for getting this done by the end of the year, they are the last byitical er hurdle to clear december 8 to avoid a government shutdown. Scarlet i want to bring in richard. We talk a lot about how the president would get to reshape the federal reserve. Hes also going to be able to reshape this part of the financial regulatory structure. What can you tell us about this move . Its not unexpected. Not unexpected. Thepolitical future of outgoing director is being watched. He has Political Office ambitions in the state of ohio. If you are outside of washington inthe Banking Industry or the personal community Banking Industry, you are closely watching the restructuring that could go on theres a handful of legislation in the financial choice act and on the Senate Banking committee that would dramatically restructure it to a fivemember board similar to what you see at other regulatory agencies like the securities and exchange commission. What all of this means, changes coming to the cfpb. Reshape dramatically the brainchild of elizabeth warren, the driving force behind the creation of the cfpb. A lot of democrats issuing statements praising the director for his tenure, but now, their ability to reshape the cfpb could be in republicans hands. Scarlet roy moore is still under fire. Julia we are waiting for the president to make comments around 3 00 p. M. This afternoon. Clearly this will be one of the critical questions hes asked if theres a q a.

Shares of the bank rising today after Cerberus Capital inagement took a 3 stake db. The move comes just months after they took a 5 stake in commerzbank. Joining us now, jason kelly. Is this a bit on eurozones Banking Sector . Its interesting when you see private equity get into any company or any industry but certainly Financial Institutions in this way. This is not a oneoff. This follows the investment in commerzbank. The obvious speculation, what seems to have driven the shares of both banks up is this idea that they could put them together. These are dealmakers. They are not just idle stock speculators. They want to make something happen to get those sorts of that limited partners expect from big private equity firms. Julia i loved the different themes going on in this story. These two banks talked in the up butout joining decided they needed to focus on their individual performances first. They are trying to unlock some value that the banks cannot do on their own. Theres this theme starting to play out around european banks. This follows cerberus itself taking an Austrian Bank public earlier this year. I spoke with Stephen Pearson earlier this morning. He talked about the opportunities in this deal and in banking in general. I do think as the economy is re, it could beheir julie an interesting play on the German Economy more broadly. From our own perspective, weve been watching europe very closely. We have one investment in southern europe. We have seen significant gdp growth in europe in particular. They love to get into these slightly messy situations and hopefully make some money coming out of it. For at slightly messy long time. The ceo has been given a long leash up until now by investors. Lets listen to what chris had to say about what this could mean for john. Cerberus is in. How long does john have now . Weeks. He has to articulate a vision. Thiso tell us why impressive and long existing shop has decided to put a bet down on him. He has to tell us why. Scarlet so far, hes more of a consultant tight. Desk consultant type a consultant type. Julia this is where he comes in. The management strategy. When i heard that this morning and when it all comes together, what do private equity firms do . They love putting their own guys in and shaking it up. Withrus has a history these messy sorts of situations. They were in investor in chrysler. They got into the gun business. This is one of these firms that really does traffic in some very interesting situations. To that point about management, you have to think they have some strong opinions there. They arecan see not seeing it at the top line in terms of revenues. The opportunity here for these here inat is the break the system that we can unlock and fix . Its highly exciting. What private equity promises its investors in the pitch it makes to companies they are investing in, this is a public , whatment, not a takeover private equity firms purport to do is get under the hood and solve those processes. Scarlet lets talk about the guy who will lead the unlike in unlocking. How does he tend to approach these situations . Heis in in the magnet is an in a nomadic figure an enigmatic he is an figure. This is someone who is very john snow has acted as the chairman of that firm, a former cabinet secretary himself. This is a firm that is very familiar with the u. S. Government and foreign government. They are still somewhat mysterious. Just bring that picture up again. It is tough to get a picture of him. Scarlet enigmatic. Its like we got a shot of him as he walked away. Still ahead, we go inside the Worlds Largest money manager. This is bloomberg. Scarlet this is bloomberg markets. Vicechairmanck Philipp Hildebrand speaking to bloombergs francine lacqua, he said protected Interest Rates could lead to people spending less. He talks about a future with robots and life at the worlds biggest money manager. Whats it like working with larry fink . Philipp larry is a bit older than me. I try to keep fit. Traveling with him is a workout. He is demanding. No more demanding than he is on himself. Hes going to this phrase that we all have to be students. Theres no excuse for anybody at black rock to not be a daily student of the market. That shapes the culture very much at black rock. This relentless never be satisfied, always remember that the world moves on, you have to continue to learn every single day. We have a lot of initiatives around internal programs and academy where we force everybody and encourage everybody to live that motto. If people cant do that or dont want to do that, they are in the wrong place. Muchulture he carries very runs throughout the firm. Talk to me in real terms. What is robot advisor . Sill i have a robot is a bos at any point . Philipp no. You will have lots of interface. Throughout distributors, they will have tools that will make it much easier for them to deal with their clients, work with their clients and bring value to their clients. We want to be that platform. Through aoducts, combination of Technology Driven investments and human driven investments, we will increasingly be visible. This whole distinction of saying we have technology and than we i suspect thats not going to be the world we live in 10 years from now. There will be important roles to play by people, learning about the markets, experience, history, these things will continue to be important. Our people will be empowered by technology in many ways. You definitely have an advantage because of the size and scope. Do you believe there will be more consolidation amongst your competitors . There will be a lot of companies that will disappear. That doesnt necessarily mean there will be a lot of m a. Some of these Companies May not be worth buying. The clients will safely migrate away from these companies and by other products. It doesnt mean consolidation in a corporate sense. We will see a lot of change in the Asset Management industry. Those companies that cannot respond to the need change. We disappear. Its an easy thing for a client to change his or her asset manager. Julia you can catch the full interview with philipp theebrand on leaders with lacqua.

A bloomberg exclusive with the bank of canada. Weve become of the commodity crunch, a redhot Housing Market and where next on Interest Rates. Scarlet this is bloomberg markets. Commodity markets are closing in new york. Lets check in with the big picture. Commodities extending declines after the bloomberg Commodity Index yesterday declined the most since may. We did out of china sparking for that demand will weaken as the number two economy dials back. They are off by 1. 4 over the last two days. Oils downward spiral continues with wti crude trading around 55 a barrel. A government report showing u. S. Inventories piled up for a second week.

Tax reform and the latest inflation data. The bottoming out of energy and Commodity Prices and a soaring Housing Market have put the spotlight on canadas economy. The countries on track for more than 3 growth this year, a full percentage point above the u. S. Desk the country is on track for more than 3 growth this year, a full percentage point above the u. S. Julia we are joined by the Senior Deputy governor, carolyn wilkins. I want to start with policy. Youve begun the process of normalization here. The bank hiked twice in secession and then turned more cautious. What changed in your perceptions of the risk and your assessment between those times . Didlyn effectively, we increase Interest Rates in july and then in september. This is on the back of an economy that is progressing quite strongly. We had 4. 5 growth in the second quarter. Growth is more broadly based. We can see the effect of the Oil Price Shock is largely behind us. Weve are decreased Interest Rates by 50 basis points. We have decreased Interest Rates by 50 basis points. Julia where do you see yourself now . Its data dependent . Carolyn we were clear that we think over time that less monetary stimulus is likely to be appropriate. At the same time, we were going to be cautious about it. That comes from the fact that we are looking closely at the inflation process, whether the phillips curve still holds, and to see the effects of the Interest Rate increases we already did on the economy. Currency. K at the we did see the currency strengthen as a result of the sykes. To what extent do you see that doing the work for you here . Carolyn markets will do what markets do. Over the summer, what we saw is an interplay of where markets saw a relative Monetary Policy going in terms of the fed and the bank of canada and changes in commodity markets. A speech before those two hikes and ted lowinflation is no indicator of past slack. Can we get any sense of how important inflation is to you today in terms of decisionmaking compared to the past . Is it less important . Carolyn inflation is always extremely important. It is our only targeted the function of inflation is a function of whats happening in Energy Markets and gas prices and whats happening in terms of underlying supply and demand pressures. We dont see that relationship has gone away completely. That means inflation today is going to be a function of where past slack was. As we look forward and see slack is being absorbed, that drag on inflation will go away. Julia what is more important in terms of policy . Carolyn it depends on the source of the surprise. From a total inflation point of view, you know that 75 of the variability in that is simply due to consumer and energy prices. The other is an indication of where the economy might be going in the future, where those wage pressures will be, how the labor market is going to perform. The relationship with the phillips curve, why havent wages been stronger . A lot of people are quite mystified here. Carolyn it is a global phenomenon. What seems to be happening is that you see strong labor Market Growth and lots of employment. Theres a lot of theories out there. Some are just globalization and supply chains making labor less competitive. For canada, theres other explanations. Its a function of the legacy of the Oil Price Shock. Good people moving from Energy Intensive industries with higher ines to get new Jobs Industries that may pay less. Theres still slack in the labor market. Which growth will be a little slower. Wage growth will be a little slower. Wages should start to rise. Thea do you think relationship is weaker because of all the reasons you just suggested . The relationship is softened now. Carolyn it is too early to tell. We have to get through the cycle. Those estimates can change over time. Some of the theories related to globalization, we dont see evidence in the data today. We absolutely need to keep an open mind because that could change over time. Julia i want to talk about nafta as well. Youve talked about the trade relationship with forecasts for growth and investment. Do you have a contingency plan in place if the neck to the nafta talks fail . Carolyn weve gone out to talk to businesses and see how this uncertainty is related to trade agreements affecting you and your business. Canadian businesses are telling us when they are thinking about investment, they need to be more cautious. We have taken that into account. In terms of what will happen in theres too many possibilities for us to factor that into policy at this stage. Julia are those businesses frightened . Concernst potential because we have uncertainty that we dont know how to tackle at the stage. Are they very concerned given the rhetoric in particular . These talks could fail. Carolyn of course they are concerned. We have a Business Outlook survey that shows businesses are very optimistic about the manned. Demand. Many economies are experiencing positive growth. When you combine it with canadian growth being good as well at the same time, that uncertainty, what the payoff investment,future that is clearly top of mind. Canadian businesses are planning on investing in canada. Thats why our investment profile shows an upward trend. Debt, this is a concern for the central bank at this point. Does it make you more or less likely to hike rates at this stage . Carolyn the fact that household that has risen quite markedly in the last couple of years is a factor in our Interest Rate decisions because we expect that Interest Rate sensitivity will be stronger than in the past. We factor that into our forecasting model. We have built it into our next version of the forecasting model. This is the kind of thing that we havent seen over history. We need to because his and wait and see. Thats we need to be cautious and wait and see. Julia i want to talk about the Housing Market. This could be a concern at some point in the future. I know you have focused on macro prudential talks. How are you looking at this . What was your involvement . Carolyn you are right folks on toronto. Theres also vancouver. You are right to focus on toronto. Theres also vancouver. There are fundamental supply issues. That has led to quite a rapid increase in prices in a way that created concerns for us that thatwere expectations could be troubling to boom bust cycles. The superintendent took some measures to address that,. Particularly on the Housing Finance site by tightening finance rules to make sure the mortgages that were written were higher quality. That has caused some slowdown in the prices. You see a steep drop in vancouver. It has started going up again. Fundamentals reassert themselves every while. Julia do you speak to Berkshire Hathaway to facilitate the arrangement that took place . Carolyn the letter experienced theidiosyncratic event Securities Commission had issues with their disclosures. That was a trigger for some liquidity issues that they found difficult to address. Our role in that was really to understand the situation and see what it meant for financial stability, whether there was the possibility of contagion. The rule of any central bank is to act as the lender of last resort. Julia you are leading the Banks Research into cryptocurrencies. You said this will not be something that is mainstream or a cash replacement at this time. How concerned are you . Theres a bubble. The ucf bubble that should do you see a bubble dual use see see a bubble . You carolyn this is a security. Thats how it is treated in canada. The technologies that underpin it, it provides the opportunity to create efficiencies that could be beneficial to Market Participants and businesses and households. Julia what about initial point offerings . You are at risk of losing your entire Capital Investment if you get involved in these things. Do we need to see more of this . Im not a securities regulator. It is not the bank of canadas role to comment on any specific ipo. These look more like securities to me than a currency they should be regulated as such. Julia you dont see fraud here. You are the most senior woman at the bank. There have been rumors surrounding your future career at the bank in particular. The governments role will likely come up as an option in 2020. Would you like to lead the bank of canada . Carolyn im 3. 5 years into my mandate. Its a sevenyear mandate. I very much enjoy working for the bank. Its a great privilege to work with really smart people who are dedicated to canada and we have a great agenda Going Forward in terms of looking at big issues with the Monetary Policy framework, Digital Currencies to think about and many other subjects that i will be highly invested in.

The only traders getting a pay raise this year are those who run electronic platforms. Thats according to a new report by options group. They discussed the full report in a bloomberg exclusive. In the last couple of years, what we have seen is that banks and hedge funds have geared more towards automating their business. This has led to competition in these businesses, new technologies are emerging and technologies change very quickly. Ai and Machine Learning are huge. Its not just the technology that plays a big part in these businesses. Date of these banks have the data these banks have. The combination of all these technologies is coming into play as a massive tool to get good pricing and transparency in the and toto the customers their internal processes and systems as well.

You dont hear the heyday competition of 2006 and 2007, any sort of compensation is massive and these businesses. Its great that they are in that position. Its not like saving lives, you know . Julie true. Mark i have to ask you about brexit. We are not through the process yet. From where you are sitting, what do you see our partners did a lot of research on this. We have seen different firms take a different approach to it. There are many european Money Centers where talent is being we are seeing talent being migrated to dublin and frankfurt and amsterdam.

Thank you. President trump due to talk tax. Eform and his asia trip we will bring you that live. We will speak with senator James Lankford to preview with the president might say. This is bloomberg. Scarlet this is bloomberg markets. The fifth round of nafta talks have started in mexico city. Are notlevel ministers believing they will arrive on friday. Birth reports of tension, what does it signal for the future of the trade deal . Joining us, James Lankford. Part of the animosity has been caused by the tough line the United States is taking. T is playing hardball is that the right strategy . We about to find out. They wanted to do bilateral deals. They are announcing the first of those bilateral deals. If we can get improved status on nafta, good but we need to maintain open free trade. Our World Economy is based on it. Im glad you bring up trade overall. They have agreed to move forward with their own trade deal without the United States. This follows the decision to remove them from it. We could see a weaker position in asia, one of the worlds fastestgrowing regions while trying to chinas star is rising. The goal was to form a trade Alliance Block that would block china from that. There would be a common set of trade agreements. We have got to see the United States have trade agreements with all of those nations. When we see those bilateral trade agreements, i will be more content on that but we want to see it get resolved. Has said hedent could walk away if they better derail deal is not signed here. That a bad option for the United States bottom line . Specifically on nafta. The nafta agreement is exceptionally important to the United States. Though should be concerns and issues we can address in an ongoing conversation. This is a big real estate deal for him to resolve. You have to put out the boundaries and negotiate the deal. Things like a sunset destabilizes any nafta conversation. That just encourages people to not trade and invest if there is a sunset. Isia what do you think being done here that does not make sense . Conversationbeen about trade deficits. That is difficult to do with other nations. Going toions are not have the purchasing power we have. Parody or for us to be in the black with every nation, that is going to be difficult if not impossible just based on the size of our economy. To focus on how we can advance projects, not to emphasize a trade deficit alone is some mark that has to be achieved. I want to stay on the topic of deficit. That brings us to tax reform. Do you support this latest move to include the individual mandate in the tax repeal bill . I do. It is a tax. It is a tax that hits directly to the middle class. People that pay the individual mandate make 60,000 or less per year. They are suffering the consequences. They have a tax penalty. They would rather have insurance. It doesnt take away the subsidies. It does free up those in the middle class to not have to pay that penalty. Scarlet should of the tied to the obamacare fix . Or not. I dont know whether it will be tied to that. There is conversation it will be close in the vote. I would assume those are two different votes at two different moments. Julia where do you stand on the issue of roy moore . I would like to see him step aside. It would help the people of alabama as they make their choice. They are uncomfortable voting for someone with a cloud over their head as a republican as well. It is difficult for the people of alabama and the nation to accusations from multiple individuals come out and for roy moore to not have a clear denial and his story changing. This is brought the attention to the nation that whether you in hollywood or in capitol hill, your personal behavior should matter for leaders, and we should hold leaders to a higher account. Individualsrs to be that are good role models. If this pushes our nation to evaluate that again, that is a positive result. What do you expect . Do you want him to come out today and say you need to step aside . A i would hope he would make conversation facetoface. Rather than through the media. I would hope when he comes to talk about trade these are pending trade agreements for the first of several trade agreements. They are important to get done. Scarlet we have come full circle back to trade. Julia and now the top business stories now, Deutsche Bank a top shareholder of those banks. The private Equity Service controlled by stephen feinberg. U. S. Treasury treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin signed off on the almighty buck, to see production of the new dollar bill with his signature. He was accompanied by his wife and jared kushner.

Off of his tour in asia President Trump is set to make a statement at the white house as the tax debate continues on capitol hill. Lets get to margaret. We can pick or choose. Great to have you with us. What you expecting to say . What six successes is he going to promote off of the back of this trip . , it is muchtanding more of a generalized wrap up of president feels he accomplished and roadmap of his general policy. Wase evil to say it successful, this and that. Plansle of things, the and deals announced during the his rhetoricourse on north korea in that speech that he gave in south korea. Our understanding at this point is not to look for any rollout of new specific initiatives in his remark today. He may talk about trade. He wants to emphasize bilateral relations.
